What is the purpose of telling this mailing list this?

unless of course you need to use an aggregate device and inadvertently

use an app that resets the sample rate and you lose one "side" of the

device (playback or capture). or maybe you just use a mac mini with

the defaults and notice totally crappy sound quality (clicks and ticks

everywhere) that don't go away until you buy a new audio interface or

reboot regularly. or you run the OS X update utility and the new wifi

drivers kill audio latency. or you already have a firewire interface

and you forget to notice that the macbook you just bought doesn't have

firewire anymore. etc. etc. etc.

then get off this list and leave us to our playthings. or better yet,

spend time critiquing the current state of the "out of the box"

experience with the people who **actually provide**  the out of the

box experience.

Maybe Kim is precisely representative of the sort of the user LAD-ers

are interested in. Maybe not. What purpose does your email serve? Do

you think that anyone on this list is not ACUTELY aware of the

situation you are describing?
